Si Yan looked at the wooden sign with regret. Because of the wood-type ability she had infused into it, the wooden sign had regained a little bit of vitality. If Xiong Rou hadn't destroyed it, it might have sprouted a green tooth.

It's better to destroy it; at least it will cover up the evidence!

Bei Ji was blocked from passing by Xiong Rou's males. Hearing the commotion inside, he cried out anxiously, "Mother!! Mother!!!"

Si Yan heard the commotion outside and thought to herself that the meat she had given that boy these past few days hadn't been in vain.

Xiong Rou glared fiercely at Si Yan: "Si Yan, you've tricked me! I'm going to kill you!! Quick, kill her! Kill her now!"

Si Yan took a few steps back and reached for her waist.

She had never fought a male beastman before, and Xiong Rou had more than a dozen males, so she couldn't be careless.

However, at that moment, a deep, old voice suddenly rang out.

What are you doing?

Si Yan turned around and saw the village chief and the witch doctor standing at the entrance of the cave.

Xiong Rou's expression was exaggerated: "Village Chief! Village Chief! Si Yan, Si Yan is a monster, she's a monster! I'm doing this for the good of the village, I'm doing this for the village!!"

The village chief's deep eyes shifted from Xiong Rou to Si Yan: "Si Yan, what are you doing?"

Si Yan smiled calmly and walked towards the village chief: "Village chief, I signed a work contract with Xiong Rou for Dong Chi and Nan Mo, but Xiong Rou called a deer a horse and insisted that it was a slave contract, trying to steal my cub with two animal skins. Now I'm asking her to give my cub back, but she's reneges on her promise. She even wants her male to kill me. Village chief, you know I don't have any males around me, so I'm easy to bully."

Si Yan was also very impressed with her own ability to distort the truth.

Xiong Rou was furious. She gritted her teeth and could hardly breathe. "You, you!! Si Yan, you!!" She wanted to retort, but couldn't utter a word.

The village chief stared at her for a long time before finally asking Xiong Rou, "Xiong Rou, why don't you return Si Yan's baby to Si Yan?"

Xiong Rou was extremely aggrieved. It was really disgusting to see the big fat bear acting aggrieved. She said, "Village Chief, Si Yan has already taken two of my animal skins. These two cubs are my slaves! I don't want to return them! Si Yan and I signed a slave contract, not a work contract."

The village chief said, "But Xiong Rou, Dong Chi and Nan Mo are still children."

Xiong Rou said anxiously, "But they are snake-beastman cubs. Village chief, you know my first and most beloved companion was killed by a snake-beastman!"

The village chief saw the malice in Xiong Rou's eyes and sighed, "Xiong Rou, your partner's affairs have nothing to do with these two cubs. Our tribe still advocates that the mother raises the cubs. In any case, you should return the cubs to her."

"village head!"

"Xiong Rou!"

Xiong Rou gritted her teeth and finally relented: "Then, then..."

Just then, one of Xiong Rou's male companions suddenly shouted, "Mistress, we... our salt is gone!!!"
